Title: Possible solution with Universal Ultra mpu and back plane
Post by: gposing on September 30, 2011, 12:24:48 AM
Thanks again for all the help getting my Slot up and running.  So far so good the mpu and backplane have been playing nice together.  One thing I found when re-installing the back plane was to leave the 4 mounting screws loose so the back plane can move up and down just a little bit.  Press the mpu board into place and wiggle it just a little up and down to make sure it is seated.  Then tighten the 4 back plane mounting screws.  It seems that the two boards line up better and the MPU seats in better.  I hope this might help someone else in the future.

Yes, loosening the backplane and adjusting it slightly up or down with board connected does seem to help the connection.
Nice machine! Wild Orchids is a hard one to find. It's a buy-a-pay three coin game with nudge feature.
Thanks for posting a pic!

It is a fun game to play.    I would like to find another Ultra.   I think it is a good first machine to work on.  The tests are so easy to run, no chip to install for resets.  I ended up giving the machine to my mother-in-law for her 70th birthday.  She loves it!   One more thing, I am having issues with the dbv145.  think it is the head.  If I can't get it working do you have one you might want to sell?  if so how much?
